[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

Nearly all of the keyboards at my school are mechanical and they are extremely annoying.

I think you're thinking of membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards are pretty expensive.

$1000 is usually the best budget for a first computer build, most bang for your buck
Don't put together a build until you're 100% ready to pull the trigger on buying the parts

*whistles*

Looks like I am not going to get that computer anytime soon, but I'll be sure to start saving an amount around 1k.

HELLO
I need opinions, I'm thinking of getting a new graphics card (& possibly new CPU)

Current card: GTX 660TI KFA 3GB
Card I'm looking at: GTX 780, or the GTX 780TI.

I need to know if the 780 Ti is worth getting compared to the 780, Tokthree suggested that I buy a 780 instead and use the remaining money plus a bit of saving to buy a new CPU because he feels my current CPU might bottle-neck a 780 (Ti) and, overall, I'd get more out of a new GPU and CPU than just a stronger GPU

My current CPU is an Intel i5 2500, 3.3GHz

Thanks.

780 ti is overpriced. You're better off upgrading your cpu and going with a less expensive card like the 780 or even a used non-reference 290X, even though i don't think your current cpu will bottleneck either of them

This is exactally where everything in my old HP PC is. I checked myself.

I find it hard to believe that a school would fit it's facilities with the most expensive types of keyboards you can buy.

They are the old type of mechanical keyboards. For example:



Also, it is a science/technology college with a very large computer science department.

Just to clarify, the keyboards at my school have Windows keys, that was just an example of the type of keyboard.

This is what I got for $568, the prices went down so theres room to mess with stuff.
The GPU price isn't listed so the current price at the bottom is wrong.
